WATER COOLER TALK: Former Tacoma Teacher Who Pleaded Guilty to Child Rape Won’t Serve Prison Time Because Of Medical Condition… Fair or Unfair

Meet Keshia Show, a former Tacoma teacher who pleaded guilty to child rape won’t serve prison time thanks to a Pierce County judge who sentenced her to sex offender treatment instead. Shaw will go free thanks to a medical condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome, causing her to have facial hair, as well as multiple sclerosis.

Shaw has been sentenced to five years of Sexual Offender Sentence Alternative and is receiving treatment outside of prison because the jail didn’t have the medication she needs. She will have GPS on house arrest for 6 months and is unable to have contacts with minors other than her two daughters.

Do you think her “punishment” is fair because she has a medical treatment?
